Double glazing prevents relatively little heat loss, unless it

Eh? Think you've got your wires crossed there,


No.

a single pane of glass
offers near enough no thermal insulation. A standard 28mm air gap
coupled with K-glass makes a huge difference


You miss the point. Windows are a small part of where heat is lost
through conduction.


Well insulated windows reduce cold spots.
